I beat it. Took me 6 hours. Is this fact alone reason to say it's beyond expectations? 1 month. I don't know if I was on a specific state of mind but I did all in one swoop xD. Really enjoyed it.
I don't know what else to say, there's something in the vibe that worked for me, the game is an open book in terms of mechanics and what things you have to strive for, and it's up to you what paths you choose. So much to pick and do.
